I started programming in 1967, and over the last 50+ years I've programmed in more languages than I would want to list. I spent a decade writing in FORTRAN on a GA 18/30 (essentially a clone of the IBM 1130) with limited memory space, so you had to write EFFICIENT code, something that is a bit of a lost art these days. I also spent a decade writing in COBOL.
I've not found many tasks that I couldn't find a way to write in whatever language I had available to write it in. There may be bad (or at least inefficient) languages, but there are lots of bad programmers.
OK, I'm maybe responsible for this thread turning into a diatribe. I shouted at OP 'cause he shouted at us. My mistake, and I apologize. I'm probably closer to Mike's "bad programmers" than I would care to admit but fully believe software is a "people problem" more than most of us realize.
